Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />September 25, 1997 <br />File: 801640J-0240 <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Ach <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, Mn 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: CENTRAL LUTHERAN CHURCH EXPANSION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the Site Plan for the proposed expansion to the Central <br />Lutheran Church facility located on School Street. Based upon our review and commer~ts <br />received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />The plans we reviewed consisted of a preliminary Site Plan and a preliminary Grading Plan <br />prepared by John Oliver and Associates, and dated August 26, 1997. John Oliver and <br />Associates also submitted a letter dated August 27th dealing with drainage on the site. <br /> <br />The drainage letter submitted by John Oliver and Associates explains that the area being <br />used for the building expansion was essentially impervious surface prior to the expansion; <br />therefore, the increase in drainage runoff is miniscule. We concur with the conclusion in <br />their letter that no improvement needs to be made to the storm drainage facility for this site. <br /> <br />3. It is unclear why the concrete curb and gutter was not shown along the west boundary of <br /> the parking lot. Concrete curb and gutter should sun'ound this entire parking facility. <br /> <br />Bruce West, Fire Chief, has indicated he would like to see a hydrant brought in from the <br />existing watermain just west of the site to the most northerly island in the west parking <br />area. <br /> <br />5. Glenn Sundeen of the Elk River Municipal Utilities indicated that the transformer ped needs <br /> to be relocated to the northwest corner of the facility. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
